Quote of the day

"Music's changed in that way. People still listen to it, but it's not as central, it's more like a scented candle. It sets the mood. Also, because people like to multitask, in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it, then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise, but leave your brain free to do something else."

Jarvis Cocker on the modern disengagement from music - surely a frustrating trend for a musician? I'd presume the concept of Cardiff's Real Record Club would appeal.
